Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to acquire real property and related property interests by donation, purchase within the City's appraised value, or by the power of eminent domain, for installation of fire hydrants from Roma Avenue to Indian School Road, between 24th to 27th streets.

Report
Summary
The installation of 12 fire hydrants is being performed as part of a water main replacement project to bring the area into compliance with current spacing design standards. The existing fire hydrant locations were installed prior to the adoption of the current design standards and do not meet the fire hydrant maximum spacing requirements in the Design Standards Manual for Water and Wastewater Systems. Acquisition is necessary because the existing right of way is not wide enough to accommodate the fire hydrants.
The properties impacted by this project and included in this request are identified in Attachment A.
Financial Impact
Funding for acquisition is available in the Water Services Department's Capital Improvement Program budget.
Location
Roma Avenue to Indian School Road, Between 24th and 27th streets.
